I found it ****ing boring at times tbh. Possession for possessions sake, sideways and backwards.

However, in fairness to him he did change that a bit last season after the players urged him to allow them to get the ball forwards quicker and use the pace of Lukaku and Lennon. His default style is tiki taka, split CB's, both full backs playing virtually as wingers, 2 holding CM's, and 3 behind a central striker. He never wavers from it. There is no 'plan B' with Bobby Brown Shoes ( he does sport a very nice pair of tan brogues)

Phenomenal.

Who plays the better style from what you've seen, Bruce or Martinez?

I don't watch Hull mate so I can't comment.

Style is determined by what you have at your disposal, or rather it should be. Martinez will try and impose his style on players who just don't have the ball playing ability.

If he does come to the KC, get used to watching with your fist in your mouth as the CB's and keeper dick around with the ball and are pressed by the opposition.

We are so far from having the personnel for that style!

Quite good by Everton standards. You're not even the best team in your City.

Yawn.

We were top 6 regulars under Moyes and had been for years.

Martinez under achieved at Goodison, hence the reason he was unceremoniously launched into a skip.
 
I don't see how any manager can realistically accept the role with any degree of respect and integrity unless the Allams state in confidence they are staying! Any new owner may have their own view as to who they wish to manage the club, as such any new appointment may last nothing more than a few weeks if the September time line to re-commence any negotiations over a sale have any merit

Phelan to 'hold the fort' in the meantime for me

I know a Wigan ST holder who liked Martinez as manager. Can't all be bad? You usually find fans are critical when they have unrealistic expectations of what their club should achieve. I lived with an Everton fan at Uni for 3 years (RIP mate) and never saw Everton as more than a mid table team - certainly over the last 20 years.

After Scunthorpe, we had 8 outfield payers and 2 keepers fit in the first team squad. No manager can make that work. Especially if some of those are putting in transfer requests.

Transfer requests have been denied by a club source.

What was Bruce's win % for us in the PL?

I'd guess about 20%, although to sure what the relevance is.

What were Bruce and Martinez's respective win ratios at Wigan?

Edit - just found this. I thought this part was of particular interest:

Let’s get a few stats out of the way nice and early. Martinez has a win percentage of just 26.77% at Wigan, winning only 34 of his 127 games in charge and losing 57. In his three seasons at the club, they have finished 16th, 16th and 15th finishing with 36, 42 and 43 points respectively.

It’s often made out that Martinez has done a great job of keeping the club in the Premier League, but the season before he took over, they finished 11th under Steve Bruce and 14th the year before that and the new Hull City boss boasts a significantly better win percentage of of 33.82% over 68 games, winning 23 games – not too far off Martinez’s total in almost half the amount of games.
